Set up the Web SDK tag extension for streaming media
The Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK tag extension lets you configure streaming media collection in the Data Collection UI, with no alloy.js configuration code. This page covers the Tags configuration. To configure the Web SDK in code instead, see Set up the Web SDK for streaming media.
-
Prerequisites:
- Complete the Edge implementation overview (schema, dataset, datastream with Media Analytics enabled).
- Install and configure the Web SDK tag extension. See the Web SDK tag extension overview.
Configure streaming media in the extension
-
In the Data Collection UI, open your web property and select Extensions.
-
On the installed Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK extension, select Configure.
-
Expand the Streaming Media section and set the following:
- Channel: The channel name reported with each session.
- Player name: The name of the media player in use.
- Application version: The version of your player application.
- Main ping interval and Ad ping interval: The ping cadence (in seconds) for main content and ads.
-
Save the extension configuration and publish your changes.
Track media events
With the extension configured, send each media event with the Send Event action (or the sendEvent command). See the Web SDK tab on each event and variable page for the exact payloads.
Next step
Once your implementation is complete, you can Set up reporting for Edge implementations.
